ISIS Militants Pledge To Throw Gays Off Leaning Tower Of "Pizza"
"We'll get you -- and your little dog, Pepperoni, too!" they were heard to yell.
Okay, I made that part up. But as reported by PinkNews, in keeping with Islam's commands to slaughter gays, somebody manning an IS-run Twitter account warned:
"#We_Are_Coming_O_Rome, we will conquer and establish the justice of #shariah. We will use your leaning tower of pizza to throw off homosexual
The group were seemingly unaware both that they had misspelled "Leaning Tower of Pisa", and that the tower is actually located in the town of Pisa, nearly 200 miles from Rome.
Rather than succumb to the threats, a number of Rome residents are instead giving the group travel advice, given the city's notoriously poor transport network.
Loved some of these tweets -- and the cute fractured English:
@alessioconte28
#We_Are_Coming_O_Rome ahahah Be careful on the highway-Ring Road: there's too much traffic, you would remain trapped!@Giu_DiChiara
#We_Are_Coming_O_Rome hey just a tip: don't come in train, it's every time late!
Although this is kind of funny, the reality for gays in Islamic countries is not. Here are Quranic references and Islam's position on homosexuality from the terrific site thereligionofpeace.com.
In short:
Homosexuals have been beheaded, hung and stoned in modern Saudi Arabia and Iran, where Muhammad's laws are applied most strictly. Five other Muslim countries also have the death penalty on their books for homosexual behavior. In the past, gays were burned as well. As one cleric recently put it, the only point of theological debate is over how the offender should be killed.
Meanwhile, back at the (Jewish) ranch...
Oh, and in more European hilarity, Swedish Television's former expert on "Islamophobia" has gone to Syria join in the genocide, mass rape, and all the other fun of ISIS.
Hey, I thought Mussolini had gotten the trains to run on time?
Too soon?

Goes to show that it always helps to keep fear in perspective: Yes, ISIS is dangerous, but we needn't assume that they will be an all-conquering force, unless we let them. As is the case with all revolutionary movements, a lot of the recruits aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

So it's true - they ARE using young Americans to handle their social media accounts.

Actually, Cousin Dave, they are calling for Muslims in other countries to wage jihad there, too.

Oh no!

I don't know - I lived in Italy for two years and the trains were very timely, for the most part. If course, that was 25 years ago. Since they've been reducing the influence of the Mafia,things may have gotten worse.

In Guests of the Ayatollah, Mark Bowden wrote that many of the American hostages found their Iranian "student" captors to be very uneducated about the outside world, naive in fact.
Sounds like ISIS has the same problem.
